Carbon dioxide emission, institutional quality, and economic growth: Empirical evidence in Malaysia

Impact of economic, financial, and institutional factors on CO2 emissions: Evidence from Sub-Saharan Africa economies

“…In particular, control of corruption, political stability, democracy, and government effectiveness appear to reduce CO 2 emissions by 0.002%, 0.009%, 0.001%, and 0.015%, respectively. These results confirm the findings of Gani (2012) and Lau et al (2014). These variables have very limited positive impact on environmental quality and induce suboptimal effects of government policy.…”

Testing Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis in Asian countries

“…Therefore, there is a growing need to take decisive steps to get the countries in the region on course to make any effort to combat climate change and achieve sustainable development and green growth. Lau et al (2014) investigate the existence of a long-run relationship among carbon dioxide emissions, institutional quality, exports, and economic growth and further examines the causal relationship among these variables in Malaysia for the period 1984-2008. From the bounds test, it is found that a long run relationship does exist among the variables, even using different conditioning information sets.…”

Trend Prediction and Decomposed Driving Factors of Carbon Emissions in Jiangsu Province during 2015–2020

“…Kais [1] provided new empirical evidence to confirm that the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis, which was first defined by Simon Kuznets [2], posited an inverted U-shaped curve between economic growth and environmental degradation. Lau [3] indicated that good institutional quality is important in controlling carbon dioxide emissions in the process of economic development. The findings of Gallego-Álvarez [4] showed a reduction in emissions that generates a positive impact on financial performance, contributing to the literature on the relationship between carbon emission reduction and corporate performance.…”
